This nearly broke me. I should have quartered the amounts not halved them, I made enough to feed a whole football team... Bwabneh is a kind of kebbeh and I had never heard of it before, another find from Kamal's book. It's veggie AND baked not fried, which makes it the rare unicorn I'd been looking for (you can always play with the stuffing, but making that outer shell work without frying is tricky). I'm sold.

Pumpkin. Which I’ve been charged with doing this year. Not everyone in the family eats it “it’s for the horses” my dad/grandma proclaim. #Cooking #ChristmasCooking

Me: I have no idea how well this food processor cuts onions. Let's start with 15s slow.

*almost nothing happens*

Me: Hm. Ok. 30s faster.

The food processor: *purees six gigantic onions in 20s*

Me: Welp. My Christmas onion pie is off to an inteteresting start...

Christmas dessert PSA: There is a pavlova recipe for an Air Fryer. https://www.taste.com.au/recipes/air-fryer-pavlova-recipe/r6qb4hkk

It only cooks for 30 minutes so I'm dubious about how marshmallowy it will be.

We discussed how people become very heightened around Christmas dinner menus and extremely attached to particular foods.

My partner once claimed "My dad won't cope without roast potatoes" and Christina reckons she becomes obsessive about dinner rolls.

What Christmas meal item do you need to feel reasonable on Christmas Day?

On our latest episode of In Those Days, Christina made the interesting point that Christmas cooking feats tend to become symbolic of our entire year.

This is the cake that irrationally angered me last year by being on a lean. You can't tell, because I sensibly photographed it from above.

I now realise it simply needed 3-4 dessert spoonsful of gelatin.
